Wolves vs Espanyol
Thursday 20th February 2020
UEFA Europa League, Molineux.

Live on BT Sport ESPN – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT.

Wolves return to Europa League action this week when they welcome Espanyol to Molineux on Thursday night.

Having come back from a much-needed winter break, Wolves played out a 0-0 draw with Leicester City at Molineux on Friday evening. Nuno Espirito-Santo’s side have played more football this season than any other Premier League team, but have had almost a week in preparation ahead of this fixture.

Espanyol haven’t quite had that luxury and have been playing week in week out in Spain’s La Liga, where they currently sit rock bottom. Despite their standing, the Spanish side have lost only one of their last four, winning one and drawing two. Abelardo Fernandez’s side finished top of Group H in the Europa League, where they lost only once.

Wolves finished second in Group K behind Portuguese side Braga. They lost only one of their six group matches, winning four and drawing the other. The defeat to Braga on the opening group night had ramifications on their standing in Group K, as had they not lost, they would have finished top of the pile.

Diogo Jota struck a hat-trick in Wolves’ last Europa league encounter, the 4-0 win over Besiktas at Molinuex. The Portuguese is priced at 7/1 to open the scoring on Thursday night on SkyBet.

Thursday night will be the first time these two sides have ever faced one another in any competition.

Espanyol ended the group stage unbeaten on the road, and picked up seven points from a possible nine away from home. Wolves’ only defeat in the group stages came on home soil, where they lost 1-0 to Brage. SkyBet are offering odds of an away win at 19/4.

For the first time in the history of the Europa League VAR will be implemented for the last 32, and will continue until the end of the competition.

Wolves vs Espanyol will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport / ESPN with kick-off at 20:00 GMT.

UEFA Europa League, Jan Breydel Stadium.

Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-off: 17:55 GMT.

Manchester United return to Europa league this week when they travel to Belgium to face Club Brugge on Thursday evening.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side returned from the Premier League winter break with a fine 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in Monday night. Goals from Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire sealed the victory, but it’s a quick turnaround for the Red Devils, who have only two full days to prepare ahead of this one.

Club Brugge started their European expedition in this season’s Champions League, where they were ultimately eliminated but finished well enough to secure a place in the Europa League. Brugge finished 3rd in group A, behind Real Madrid and 1st placed PSG. Overcoming them European powerhouses was a near impossible task, however the Belgian side did give Madrid a scare at the Santiago Bernabeu. They raced into a first-half 2-0 lead before being pegged back, drawing 2-2. Brugge failed to win any of their group matches, drawing three and losing three.

Manchester United on the other hand finished top of Group L, winning four, drawing one and losing one of their six group matches. United conceded two goals in six matches, and they came in their 2-1 defeat away to Astana. 5/6 clean sheets for the group stage is an impressive feat, and SkyBet are offering a Manchester United win to nil at 10/3.

These two sides have met twice before in Europe which came back in the 2015/16 Champions League campaign. Manchester United won both comprehensively, 3-1 at Old Trafford before a 4-0 win away in Belgium.

For the first time in the history of the Europa League, VAR will be implemented into the latter stage of the competition.

Club Brugge vs Manchester United will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with an early kick-off time off 17:55.

Prediction: Club Brugge 1-1 Manchester United

Tottenham vs RB Leipzig
Wednesday 19th February 2020
UEFA Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on BT Sport 2 HD – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Tottenham will play host to RB Leipzig in UEFA Champions League action this Wednesday evening.

Spurs enter the match in great form and are unbeaten in seven matches across all competitions. They cruised through to the knockout stages in second place in Group B. RB Leipzig topped Group G with three wins, two draws and one loss. The German’s are in slightly worse form than their opponents with just one victory in five across all competitions.

Tottenham are priced at 6/4 to win the match by SkyBet as the bookmaker’s struggle to call a winner from this one. Spurs have been dealt another huge injury blow ahead of this match, with Heung-Min Son also side lined alongside Harry Kane. They are, however, in good form ahead of this home fixture.

In Son and Kane’s place, Jose Mourinho will likely turn to new signing Steven Bergwijn to spark some energy into the attack. He has impressed so far and is priced at 5/2 to score anytime.

RB Leipzig are priced at 17/10 to win the match and give themselves a huge advantage when they travel back home for the second leg. The Germans must turn their form around quickly if they are to reach the quarter finals. They have failed to win from their last four away matches in all competitions.

Going forward, Timo Werner will be the biggest threat to Spurs defence. He has 20 Bundesliga goals this term and is priced at 11/10 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Turkish Cuneyt Cakir. The home side have been considerably more aggressive this season and have averaged 23.7 booking points in domestic competitions. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have averaged just 15.7 booking points. Tottenham are priced at 7/4 for most booking points – great value.

Tottenham vs RB Leipzig will be televised on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 RB Leipzig

– It’s tough to tell how these two will play with a second leg around the corner. Expect a cagey affair.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool
Tuesday 18th February 2020
UEFA Champions League, Round of 16, Wanda Metropolitano

Live on BT Sport 2 HD – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Atletico Madrid and Liverpool lock horns in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on Tuesday night.

The Reds travel back to the ground where they claimed their sixth European Cup in June. They defeated Tottenham 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano, a memory that is still fresh in the minds of Kopites around the globe.

The hosts Atletico Madrid are, in fairness, in a poor run of form having won only one of their last seven encounters in all competitions. Diego Simeone’s side have won only three times in all competitions this year and sit fourth in Spain’s La Liga. Atletico were held by Valencia at the weekend, drawing 2-2 at the Mestalla.

Liverpool on the other hand are cruising to their first English League title in thirty years, and sit top of the Premier League with an incredible twenty-five point gap between themselves and 2nd placed Manchester City. Sadio Mane was the matchwinner in their latest Premier League game, he struck in the closing stages to secure a 1-0 victory away to Norwich.

Diego Simeone’s side finished second in group D behind Italian giants Juventus. Atletico did however lose two of their six group matches, but are still unbeaten in this years competition on home soil.

Liverpool finish top of group E where they won four of the six group matches, losing one and drawing the other. Liverpool’s defeat came in the opening group match away to Napoli where they lost 2-0.

These two sides last met in 2010 in the semi-final stage of the Europa league. The match finished 2-2, but Atletico progressed to the final on the away goals rule. Tuesday night’s meeting id the fifth time these two sides have met in Europe.

The referee for this encounter is Szymon Marciniak. The Polish official has taken charge of three matches thus far, and has awarded ten yellow cards. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for this clash. Marciniak took charge of Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat away to PSG in last season’s Champions’ League group stage, and awarded eight yellow cards.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with kick-off at 20:00 GMT.

Chelsea vs Manchester United
Monday 17th February 2020
FA Premier League, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Chelsea will play host to Manchester United in late night Premier League action this Monday.

Both clubs still have hopes of qualifying for Champions League football next year with Chelsea five places and six points ahead of their opponents. Frank Lampard’s side, however, have just one win from their last five as we enter the business end of the season. Meanwhile, Manchester United also boast just one win from five but can climb two places in the table with a win.

Chelsea are favourites to win this match and are priced at 17/20 by SkyBet to do so. The Blues must improve their form if they are to finish in the top four places, with Spurs and Sheffield United breathing down their neck. Their home form has not been much better either, with three wins from seven in the league.

Striker Tammy Abraham will hope to end his month-long goal drought. He has netted 13 times this season and is priced at 23/20 to score anytime.

Manchester United are priced at 16/5 to win the match and pull off a huge away victory in their bid for European football next season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side need a win if they are to put real pressure on the Champions League spots in a mediocre season by their standards. A worrying sign for United is that they have failed to score in their last three league matches.

A man hoping to change their fortunes is January loanee signing Odion Ighalo. The Nigerian is set to make his debut for the Red Devils and is priced at 2/1 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. The official has not been shy when it has come to reaching for his pocket this season. Taylor has been one of the most ‘no-nonsense’ refs in the Premier League with an average of 45.5 booking points from his 20 topflight matches.

Chelsea vs Manchester United will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United

– It’s tough to split these two sides with similar form records. Would be brave to call a winner.

FA Premier League, Villa Park.

Aston Villa will host Tottenham in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon after a well-deserved two-week winter break.

The hosts find themselves deep in the relegation battle in their first season back in the topflight. They are currently 17th – just one point from the drop zone. The visitors are avidly hunting down a Champions League spot as Jose Mourinho’s influence is having a positive effect on the pitch.

Aston Villa are priced at 3/1 by SkyBet to win the match and pull off a huge victory at home in their bid to survive relegation. Villa suffered another setback in their last outing against Bournemouth as they slipped further into the battle for survival. They are a side that have fight and quality in talisman Jack Grealish.

New signing Mbwana Samata got on the scoresheet on his debut and is priced at 12/5 to score anytime and make an instant impact at Villa Park.

Tottenham are priced at 4/5 to win the match and build from their impressive victory last time out. Spurs are in great form across all competitions and most recently in the Premier League, they beat Manchester City 2-0. New signing Steven Bergwijn got on the score sheet as Mourinho’s side looked a force in attack.

Son Heung-Min has filled the injured Harry Kane’s boots well and is priced at 6/4 to score anytime. He will likely start up front.

Last time these two met earlier in the season, just one card was brandished late on in the game. However, Aston Villa have averaged 19.4 booking points per match this season and Tottenham have averaged 24.6 booking points.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 14:00.

Prediction:  Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham

– It will be a tight match but with both teams well rested, Spurs’ qualities will outshine those of the fighting Villains.

FA Premier League, The Emirates Stadium.

Live on Sky Sports Premier League. Kick-off: 16:30 GMT

Arsenal return to Premier League action this weekend when they host Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides will be coming back from the Premier League’s first even winter break fully re-energised, and keen to return to winning ways in the Premier League.

Prior to the break, Arsenal had drawn their last four consecutive Premier League encounters, meanwhile Newcastle were unbeaten in their last four, drawing three and winning one.

Arsenal have been inconsistent this season to say the least, and have drawn more matches than any other side in the division (13). Manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side can convert them draws into wins as the business end of the season approaches, and strengthen their hopes, albeit faint of securing European football for next season.

These two sides last met at the beginning of the season, where Arsenal took all three points thanks to a goal from Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. That goal in August was Aubameyang’s first of fourteen goals scored this season, and the Arsenal striker is priced at 7/10 on SkyBet to score anytime on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners boast a tremendous record over this weekends opponents, and have won thirteen of the last fourteen meetings between these two. Arsenal have lost once in the last ten years against Newcastle. The Magpies’ last win in this fixture came back in April 2018, where they were victorious 2-1 at St James’ Park. The last time Newcastle won away to Arsenal was in 2010.

The referee for this encounter is Lee Mason. The 48-year old has taken charge of twelve Premier League matches this season, and in that time has awarded forty-six yellow cards, and one red card. This considered, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ booking points for this fixture. Sunday afternoon will be the first time he has taken charge of an Arsenal game in the Premier League this season, but Mason did take charge of Newcastle’s 2-1 defeat to Everton, where he awarded four yellow cards.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.

FA Premier League, Carrow Road.

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-off: 17:30 GMT.

Norwich City return to Premier League action this weekend as they host league leaders Liverpool at Carrow Road.

Daniel Farke’s Norwich City side are tasked with stopping the red juggernaut that’s steamrolling it’s way through the Premier League, and are still the only Premier League side yet to lose a game. The Canaries however, despite their position can have some confidence ahead of this one, as they beat reigning Champions Manchester City at the beginning of the season, administering their first defeat of what’s been a disappointing season for Pep Guardiola’s side. Farke and his players will however know the mountain of a task that awaits them this weekend.

Norwich, in fairness, are in deep trouble as the final three months of the season approach. The Canaries sit rock bottom and are currently seven points adrift in the battle to avoid relegation. Norwich have won one of their last twelve matches, form which you would associate with a side that’s well and truly in a relegation battle.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side however are quite literally in a league of their own, and have picked up an astounding 73 from a possible 75 available in the Premier League. The Red’s are well on course for their first Premier League title in thirty years, and if they continue, they will secure it in record time. Six more wins is all they need to Premier League glory.

These two sides met on the opening day, and Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners at Anfield. Teemu Pukki scored his first of eleven goals at Anfield, and is priced at 15/8 to score anytime. Both Pukki and Norwich will have to work hard if they are to find the back of the net however, they are facing a Liverpool team who have eight clean sheets in their last nine matches in the Premier League.

The referee for this encounter is Stuart Attwell. The 37-year old has established himself as one of the harsher referee’s this season, averaging over 4.5 yellow cards per game. Attwell has also awarded two red cards this season. This considered, I would suggest a minimum of 30+ booking points for this  encounter.

The Championship, The Hawthorns.

Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT.

West Brom return to the Hawthorns this weekend as they host Nottingham Forest in the SkyBet Championship.

Both sides are competing at the top end of the division in a bid to to secure promotion to the Premier League, and know that from now until the end of the season slip-up’s must be kept at a minimum.

West Brom in recent weeks have got themselves back on track in the league following a sticky spell at the beginning of the year which saw them relinquish top spot on a number of occasions. Slaven Bilic’s side have won their last three consecutive matches, and have put a six-point gap between themselves and 2nd placed Leeds United. A win on Saturday lunchtime would put them nine-clear of Leeds, due to them kicking off earlier on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest on the other hand missed the chance to go second in midweek, and were beaten 1-0 at home to Charlton Athletic. In this past week Forest have proven they can beat the best in the division following their 2-0 win over Leeds on Saturday evening, but highlighted their inconsistencies in the defeat to Charlton. Sabri Lamouchi will be hoping his side can dust themselves off and find the performance levels they displayed against Leeds for this weekend’s encounter.

West Brom have lost four times in thirty-two matches this season, the fewest of any team in the division. SkyBet are offering odds of a home win at 8/11.

These two sides met in their opening fixture of the season and West Brom took all three points following a 2-1 win at the City ground. The Baggies have lost one of the last five meetings against Forest, and are unbeaten in the last three.  Forest on the other hand have won two of the last six, their last win coming in January 2010.

The referee for this clash is Keith Stroud.  The 50-year old has been on of the more lenient match officials this season, averaging just over three yellow cards per fixture in the Championship. Stroud however has awarded two red cards. For this fixture, I would recommend  minimum of 30+ booking points.

West Brom vs Nottingham Forest will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Action with kick-off at 19:45.

Southampton vs Burnley
Saturday 15th February 2020.
FA Premier League, St Mary’s Stadium.

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 12:30 GMT

Southampton return to St Mary’s on Saturday lunchtime as they host Burnley in the Premier League.

The winter break came at the wrong time for both of these sides, as they had each strung together a good run of results, which had seen them climb the table. If this fixture was a month ago, it would be dubbed as a relegation battle, but following their impressive form, both sides seem to be clear of the dreaded drop.

Ralph Hassenhuttl’s Southampton side have lost only two of their last eight, a run which included wins over Chelsea and Spurs, meanwhile Burnley have lost one of their last five, and in that time recorded victories over Leicester, and impressively away to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Sean Dyche saw his side rise as high as eleventh.

Much has been made of the form of Danny Ings this season, and whether his goalscoring return, and overall form warrants a place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2020 squad this summer. Ings has scored fourteen goals this season, and is priced at ¾ on SkyBet to score in 90 minutes.

The last meeting between these two sides resulted in a convincing 3-0 for the Clarets. In fact, Sean Dyche is unbeaten against Southampton for the last four years and has seen his Burnley side open up a six-game unbeaten run against Saturday’s opponents. Southampton’s last win in this fixture came in October 2016.

The referee for this encounter is Simon Hooper. The 37-year old has taken charge of seven Premier League fixtures this season and has been one of the more lenient match officials. Hooper has averaged just over three yellow cards per game, and this considered I would recommend a maximum of 40+ booking points for Saturday lunchtime’s encounter.
